Engineered wood for the stairs, New Eltham
You'll find Engineered wood in a lot of New Eltham stairss these days, and there's a reason: genuine hardwood top layer over a plywood or HDF base — oak, walnut, smoked.

We're the A20, so a same-week visit is the norm. Engineered wood to a stairs is a specialist install — done carefully it looks brilliant, but it's not the default choice, and we'll be honest about that on the site visit.
